Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 654 Industrialization

After the dialogue between Stilwell and Wang Xuexin, he sorted out Wang Xuexin's proposal from beginning to end, and found that this seemed to be the most reasonable plan with the least risk.

Just when Stilwell ordered the communication team to put away the radio and prepare to continue on their way, a jeep stopped in front of him, and Alexander jumped out of the car, shouting, "Joe, I'm just looking for you!"

Speaking of which, Alexander took a document from his assistant and handed it to Stilwell.

"This is the next phase of the battle plan!" Alexander said, "I am going to organize a line of defense in the north. As long as we can block the enemy's attack, we will have a chance to counterattack..."

"No, Harold!" Stilwell wasn't even interested in accepting the plan, he interrupted Alexander: "There is no plan anymore, let's continue to retreat!"

Alexander was taken aback, and said with a surprised expression: "But we didn't lose, we still have a chance!"

This is true, the coalition forces do have a chance at this time.

The reason is that the Huaxia International Highway is only in the central region, and there is still a large area of ​​land in the north that can be defended. At the same time, the coalition forces can continuously obtain equipment and supplies from Asanna.

So Alexander is right. As long as the coalition forces establish a line of defense to block the enemy's attack, the coalition forces will soon have an advantage in supplies and ammunition, and the balance of victory will tilt in the direction of the coalition forces.

But at this time, Stilwell had already seen through Alexander's tricks. He knew that Alexander and even the entire army on which the sun never sets had no intention of fighting, and they had already made up their minds to abandon this place. Stopping the retreating steps to slow down the speed of the enemy's pursuit, so that the army that never sets in the sun can escape back to the Asan territory in its entirety.

Stilwell spoke very directly. He looked at Alexander coldly and said, "Don't take me for a fool, Harold, I know what you're thinking!"

He said without looking back, took his subordinates into the jeep and left.

Alexander still played innocent in the back, he shouted from behind the car: "I don't understand what you are talking about, Joe! We can't just give up like this! You will regret it..."

At this moment, Stilwell had an urge to report to his superiors to replace Alexander. He couldn't bear the face of this escaped general.

But thinking deeper, Stilwell thought it wouldn't work.

Because this was obviously not Alexander's idea, but the secret instruction of the empire on which the sun never sets.

Therefore, it was not Alexander who disgusted him, but the empire on which the sun never set that thought it was centered on its own interests and disregarded the overall situation.

In this respect Stilwell was right.

At this time, the empire on which the sun never sets is still the number one power in the world. Although it has declined, it is unwilling to give up its position as the "number one power".

Therefore, even Eagle Sauce is its competitor.

Because from the current point of view, Eagle Sauce is the country most likely to take away the position of "world number one".

The difficulty that the sun never sets lies in that at this time, the inextricable fight with Hans requires the help of Ying Jiang, and you can't openly turn against Ying Jiang, you can only stumbling in the dark.

That's why, on the battlefield, Patton was suppressed and frustrated... The Yingjiang army was about to win, but was strictly ordered to stop attacking, and the army went up to reap the fruits.

(Although the commander of the coalition forces is Eisenhower, his commander only coordinates the relationship between the two countries and has no command power. Montgomery is actually in command of the battle.)
It's just that the army that never sets does not live up to expectations, even if it is cheating, it has repeatedly defeated and defeated so that Barton stole the limelight.

Stilwell, who was a diplomat, of course knew the delicate relationship between Eagle Sauce and the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets at this time, not to mention the need to cooperate with the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets when entering the Asan territory in the future, so he refrained from having an attack.

He just looked at the distraught Alexander behind the car through the rearview mirror, and said to himself: "If you still want to fight, let the 'heroic' army on which the sun never sets show off once! I like you !"

Then, Stilwell didn't waste any more time. He thought about how to persuade the top management of Yingjiang, so that they would not be deceived by the diplomacy on which the sun never sets and have unrealistic illusions about this war.

Stilwell's method is very simple, which is to directly analyze the strategic intention of the sun never setting with the high-level.

He said: "Although I really don't want to believe this, judging from all the current battlefield performances, what I said is becoming a reality one by one. We, including the Chinese army, are falling into the trap of the Empire on which the sun never sets." Weaving traps, how could they use the enemy to consume our strength to achieve their own goal of preserving themselves! Therefore, we have only one way to go, and that is to abandon this place and retreat to the Asan land!"

Then he sent another telegram to Chongqing to discuss the feasibility of withdrawing Huaxia troops to the border of Ah San.

It took several days for Wang Xuexin to hear from Stilwell.

Stilwell didn't say much, because this is a military secret, and as the commander, he shouldn't reveal too much information. He only said a few words: "Everything is going well!"

Seeing these words, Wang Xuexin knew that the matter was almost inseparable.

Wang Xuexin couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief. If the Huaxia Expeditionary Army hadn't gone to Savage Mountain, there would be no more tragedies in history!
In addition, as soon as the expeditionary force withdraws to Asanna, the size of the troops in Asanna is already quite large, which can form considerable pressure on the devils, and it is also possible to form combat power again and launch a counterattack in a shorter period of time.

Therefore, Wang Xuexin felt that he made the right move, which had a positive effect on the entire Huaxia war situation.

After the matter came to an end, Wang Xuexin turned his attention to Yuncheng again.

The inclusion of Yuncheng in the territory of the Eighth Route Army is a qualitative leap for the Eighth Route Army.

The reason is not only the strategic significance of Yuncheng, but more importantly, the Eighth Route Army could only fight against the devils in the Luliang mountainous area... With the strength of the Eighth Route Army before, it is difficult to confront the devils in the plain area, even if they take the initiative to attack and win the battle in the plain area It is also impossible to defend for a long time, because there is no danger in the plain area, and the logistics supply line is easily cut off by devils.

Therefore, even if the Hundred Regiments War was fought before and even Wang Xuexin took down Yucun, etc., it is basically necessary to retreat after the capture of supplies and destruction of the devil's facilities.

This caused a problem, that is, most of the base areas of the Eighth Route Army were located in mountainous areas with constant traffic.

It is difficult for these mountainous areas to carry out large-scale industrialization and enhance economic strength.

With Yuncheng, it will be different.

The west of Yuncheng to the Yellow River is full of plains, cutting off Luliang Mountain and Zhongtiao Mountain like a knife.

Wang Xuexin believes that this plain is the basis for the industrialization of the Eighth Route Army.
